I find this photo that came with this story to be very telling of Cuba.

I suppose only in Cuba would you find oil drilling equipment right on the beach. Not that Cuba is environmentally unfriendly but that these small oil drilling rigs are a better use for the land that say…high rise hotels and waterfront condos?

Environmental health is foreign to US Corporations. Given the worship of the all mighty, but falling dollar, the media and the powers that be relegate the effects of environmental disasters to the margins. However, should the same happen, say in Cuba, we in the US become all so strident and sanctimonious. Of course, in the US broken cars, trash and condemned buildings in considered art. What do we call Drug Dealers?
